poor shooting % done the Lady Vols in

We are not "great" at any sport anymore. Not one dang sport

Over in the first 4 minutes. Overmatched. Wake up call. You can't take a night off from shooting well and beat a team like Baylor.

If Simmons was just half as good as she thinks she is then she would be decent.Just not this game but the games I have watched she takes very poor shots and a turnover machine.They play better when shes not in the game. but this game was over at 17-0.

Except for just a few games ago when she dropped 30+

Being a shooter means you have off nights. Being 6'10 means you very rarely have off nights.

This ^^

It's one thing to have a shooters mindset but she routinely takes bad shots against the flow of the offense. She begins to play too fast and jacks up ill advised 3-pointers. If I can tell when she's about to do it surely the coaching staff can. She's a junior. They should have fixed that aspect of her game by now. More often than not she's a liability. Williams should get more of Simmons' minutes.

Simmons was not THE problem. It was a team shooting problem.

Is Griner and Simms ever gonna graduate.

Hard to beat a team with a 7 foot man.

Exactly. Let's forget about this one and move on. Next year will be a different story with Griner gone and Russell, Harrison, and Graves prowling the paint.

i think this team missed Izzy

I know she wasn't the whole problem but she does this evey game. Of her 30 points as much as she shoots she should of had 50. Jmo , they play better without her. Last night some of the shots she was throwing up was mind blowing and it's not just 1 game.

Plus I wonder how long it will be before we find out Griner is a man?

Too small and no inside game.

Without Izzy we had no chance. Still, I can't understand why Tennessee puts on its "choke" shoes every time they play Baylor. 17-0 down to start the game? That's absurd. In our last four games against baylor, we have not once shot 30 percent, I don't think. Incredible. Five walk-ons could do better.
